But, the "Big Little Lies" star says she was forced to "grow up" after parting with Cruise during her first 30 years.

"Of course I've had moments #MeToo," he reveals. "Do I want to expose them in an article? No. Do they go out in my work? Absolutely."

Kidman continued: "I'm open and raw, I want to take advantage of my experience and emotion, and I'm not only talking about sexual harassment, I'm talking about loss, death, the whole range of life, but it has to be for the right people so that go back to abuse. "
